Dear all, I'm currently running R on my laptop -- a Lenovo Thinkpad X201 (Intel Core i7 CPU, M620, 2.67 Ghz, 8 GB RAM). The problem is that some of my calculations run for several days sometimes even weeks (mainly simulations over a large parameter space). Depending on the external conditions, my laptop sometimes shuts down due to overheating.
I'm now thinking about buying a more powerful desktop PC or laptop. Can anybody advise me on the best configuration to run R as fast as possible? I will use this PC exclusively for R so any other factors are of limited importance.
